Censorship is a concept broader than government.

I'm not convinced that online dating is quite the effective learning environment you're making it out to be. You are much more disposable online, and people tend to have less empathy. If the only feedback you get is ghosting, then it could be something you said recently, the person could be busy, or perhaps a more attractive match came along. It's usually challenging to narrow it down if you aren't making the most basic mistakes.

Some men bitterly turn misogynistic as a result of their failures, but that doesn't mean that their failures are entirely unique and personal.

We haven't run into issues with a self-hosted instance of Jitsi Meet. Might be worth a look.

You might have disabled some of the default filter lists.

After doing about a month of research (The Mattress Underground is a good forum) I bought a latex mattress from SleepEZ. Had it for a couple of years and been very happy with it.

One consideration to keep in mind is that if you sleep in the middle of your bed you won't want to get the split layers. They make assembly easier and allow for more granular customization, but a friend of mine who got the same mattress feels the crack between them where the layers separate slightly.

The title implies that LIDAR was $75,000 until Apple put it into the iPhone, but it's just clickbait. The answer to the headline is that it improvements to the tech made it cheaper over the course of a decade. It's like saying "a computer used to cost millions in government funding, but Samsung somehow put one in your pocket"; it skips quite a few notable steps for dramatic effect.

Dr. Fauci has since admitted that U.S. health officials intentionally lied about mask efficacy to prevent PPE shortages: https://techstartups.com/2020/06/17/dr-fauci-admits-health-e...

Free speech is a philosophical concept and ideal that extends far beyond the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

I don't read this as saying they'll prevent further breaches. It seems to be saying that they will improve compliance with data privacy regulation.

Yes, you should be able to.

Costco's vitamin D softgels are 2000 IU, not 5000.

Or they can do what they're currently doing.

This depends very much upon your reality.

Judging by the lack of coherency / relevance of the profile's other replies, I'm guessing it's a bot whose model someone's attempting to train on HN comments.

If you just ask for more money, chances are the answer is going to be more. To successfully negotiate a higher salary, you generally have to point to some value you are delivering or will deliver that justifies the bump in compensation. "I want more money, please" isn't very persuasive.

Isn't wearing a mask more for the benefit of those around you if you're asymptomatic? I thought most masks didn't do anything to prevent you from catching coronavirus, only spreading it.

What's the alternative if you're going to scale salary based on location while hiring? If you only scale while hiring, you'll encourage people to "move" to Silicon Valley for a month or two, then "move" back to their original location. There would be an enormous financial incentive for that behavior.

>Anyone who's seen "to catch a predator" knows that most pedophiles are borderline mentally handicapped and are way more likely to get caught by their own incompetence; no extra laws necessary.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that pedophilia correlates with lower intelligence, but a more accurate conclusion to arrive at after watcing TCAP is that most people who fall for a fairly obvious sting operation (in some cases, after having watched the show themselves) are borderline mentally handicapped.

>It also doesn't hurt that the average criminal skews dumber than the average law-abiding citizen to begin with.

Is this true? I'd be interested to see the research for this. I would believe that the average convict is dumber than the average law-abiding citizen, but how many criminals are lumped in with the law-abiding citizens simply because they don't say "oh yeah, I break the law all the time"?

The guidance for keeping six feet apart doesn't apply to people who already live together. Keeping your distance isn't going to work if you're all going to touch the same surfaces at home, anyway. It can be tricky to tell if groups of people close together are family / roommates.

They aren't equipped to vet talent. If they hire a mediocre engineer for $180k, their situation has not improved.

After reading your post, I thought "these things happen; they'll figure it out with experience."

Tried going to clientsite.com/api/.env on a whim, and leapt out of bed.

This exists; invoice factoring companies make this process relatively straightforward.

IMO it's really obvious when someone's applying the strategies in that book without addressing their underlying behavior. One of my bosses had the dark triad traits, and it was painfully obvious that he was following the book's advice to the letter. Referring to people by name often and the like doesn't mask narcissistic behavior, it just makes a narcissist appear dishonest.

Keepass does support storing the database file locally. It is the default way it works.

Doctors aren't superhuman and med school doesn't filter out the gullible.

An incorrect statement is not a fallacy. An incorrect statement can indicate a fallacy's presence, but in this case I don't believe it does.

How is the parent comment overgeneralizing? The generalization jumping out at me is the grandparent's "all corporations are right-leaning by nature". The position of "corporations' executive decisions and internal culture can evolve separately" appears to be the nuanced one.

You're implying that an environment where people don't jokingly reference suicide would have led to a better outcome. Is there evidence for this?

This is such a tired argument, but I'll throw this out anyway: the parent isn't claiming that Facebook is legally prohibited from selecting which content they allow through their platform. They are legally allowed to choose to block certain content, but this does not make them exempt from public criticism.
